Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3342902A1] The non-natural fiber or filament composition comprises an herbal masterbatch, a base polymer powder or a polymer, and one or more additives such as coupling agent, UV stabilizer, antioxidant, Antistatic agent, colorants, pigments, and the like. The herbal masterbatch further comprises an extract of at-least a natural or herbal product. The herbal masterbatch further provides multiple functional benefits such as anti-microbial, anti-odor, cooling effect etc. to the non-natural fiber or filament. Further, the method of preparing the natural or herbal masterbatch, comprises the steps of grinding at-least one of an herbal or natural products to produce an herbal extract having a particle size of less than or equal to 100 microns, or preferably less than 50 microns, or more preferably less than 25 microns, and mixing or blending the herbal extract with a coupling agent, a base polymer, and one or more from the additives such as Coupling agent, UV stabilizer, antioxidant, Antistatic agent, colorants, pigments, and the like, in a high speed mixer. In one embodiment, drawing a yarn or filament or fiber from the herbal masterbatch resulted into the non-natural fiber or filament. In another embodiment, the blended mix is extruded together through conventional spinning processes known in the art to form the non-natural fiber or filament having denier range between 0.3 DPF to 30DPF exhibiting multiple functional benefits.
